Last week two of our grandchildren stayed with us and learned to sew. Akki by hand and Rik on the sewingmachine. A joy for them and for me.

It is a long, long time ago I wrote on this blog.Time went by quickly and I was busy recovering from the chemo therapy they give me for a non- Hodgkin lymfoom. Alas, the therapy didn't do what it was meant to do. The tumour stayed and I went for a second opinion to the Antoni van Leeuwenhoekhospital in Amsterdam. As I guessed already, we now know I have a seldom seen cancer, a carcinoid syndroom. They can do nothing, only give injections to keep it under control. Happily the tumour will grow very slow.In the meantime I didn't sit quiet, I did research for quilts about my ancestors. There are already documents in 1309. In started with a series of quilts about the theme and in Biezenmortel, where I attended a Masterclass, I made some new ones. Some of them will be exposed in de Kantfabriek in Horst, where our textilegroup StiQS will have in exposition in february en march 2012.

About Me

I'm a quilter of dutch origin. I live in the south of the Netherlands with my husband Jac.
I love gardening and I like music. Favourite composers are Beethoven and Bach. Every Tuesday I go to sing in a Choir classic music.
At the moment I like modern quilting en to experiment with all kind of materials.
